See and hear more underwater action with the hydrophone and underwater camera.

A week in misty wet paradise
Loved being on the last trip of the season - had lots of alterations to the itinerary that made the trip even more enjoyable. Positively great to see LeConte glacier and to kayak in "God's Pocket". Certainly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the great memories.

Small boat cruise. The only way to go
Incredible experience. Loved the two days in Glacier Bay. That is why we picked this cruise.
- Recommended for
- Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, from kitchen staff to guides, all were awesome. Loved the extracurricular activities. Could sit around on the boat if you wanted to, but plenty of things to do outside.. Loved the small boat experience, being able to get to places the floating hotels could not.

An amazing experience in an area of great beauty
Would do unCruise again, and recommend it to friends. All covered in the question above.

- Small group size. 60ish is a great size or get to know people and not have to wait too long for activities, food etc. very intimate.. Activities. Was concerned there wouldn’t be enough as we don’t kayak, but there was. The shore excursions were each so different it didn’t matter we did 3. Bushwhacking is very different to walking well defined trails. Being personally challenged was rewarding: bushwhacking (the 7 level of difficulty) and conquering Moody Knob and the polar plunge were personal highlights as we were bout doing them.. The crew. Amazing! So talented. So energetic. So going the extras mile, and more. Really appreciated all their knowledge and the evening talks..

The friendliness of the staff was excellent. We also met a great group of fellow sailing people.

- Everyone on the crew was first class. The ship was in excellent condition. Flexibility of where to anchor when some of the glaciers were not reachable because of ice flows..
